Not all Chinese restaurants are created equal. We had a favorite in our neighborhood for years. Then they up and moved, or left, I don’t really know what happened.
All of the other Chinese places around here are no comparison to our favorite. When you get used to having a go to favorite and they’re just gone. You start craving that one thing you can’t have anymore.
So we started experimenting different recipes to see if we could come up with what was missing in our life. Our favorite Roast Pork and Garlic Sauce!

I love when those big picnic roasts go on sale, we’ll get an easy three or four meals out of a nice 10 lb roast. Here’s the recipe we used for the Pork Picnic Roast, but if you have a pork tenderloin or some boneless pork chops that would work good too.
Now I have to say that if my green onions look freakishly large it’s because they are.
I planted these from a few whites of a normal green onion in the spring, and these things just kept growing and growing.
I had to take a picture to show how huge this one green onion got. I didn’t measure it, but I’m pretty sure it’s getting close to three feet tall!

- It may seem odd to marinate the meat, as it has already been cooked. But this extra step helps to impart a bit more flavor into the final dish.

the only oil & garlic listed are in the marinade and garlic sauce, but the recipe says to cook them with the other ingredients?

I'm struggling to cook this. The ingredients don't seem to match the recipe. I've made the marinade but then the recipe says to fry the garlic? Bit confused

Do I dice the pork before adding it to the garlic and chilies?

This recipe doesn't make sense. When you cook the pork it says to add oil and garlic. But there's no garlic in the cooking section ingredient list. It's in the marinade and in the sauce. The only oil is in the marinade. How much garlic and oil gets added to the pan before cooking the pork?????

Do you add the marinade with the meat too?

You can add it or omit it, it's up to you. Adding it in with the meat will give you more sauce, that's how we like it around here.
